Vernadsky will be renewed in Kyiv?" a QHA journalist reports.

“Resuming the Taurida National University is a very important step towards the reintegration of Crimea. It is a real test of whether the Ukrainian government will be able to provide a quality education for Crimeans,” said Tatiana Rychkova.
